Prince William’s wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge dispelled rumors she is pregnant with the couple’s second child on Sunday by sipping on wine during a visit to a vineyard in New Zealand.

The couple is currently on a royal tour Down Under and on Saturday, the Prince sparked speculation the new parents were preparing to welcome a sibling for their eight-month-old son Prince George.

As he accepted a knitted shawl as a gift for his son from a well wisher, William said, “You might have to make another one soon,” a comment which prompted rumors suggesting the Duchess was expecting again.

However, Catherine put to rest the baby claims on Sunday as they visited the Amisfield Vineyard, where the royal couple each enjoyed a glass of pinot noir.

Recalling the Duchess’ visit, fellow vineyard visitor Hannah Armstrong from Mudhouse Wines says, “Kate said she hadn’t drunk whilst pregnant with George and although she doesn’t drink much, she was really enjoying the o

British royal Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge will return to official duties next month for the first time since the birth of her son, Prince George Of Cambridge.

The Duchess and her husband, Prince William, welcomed their first child on July 22 and the young family has since been staying with her family in Berkshire, England.

Prince William has made several public engagements since the birth while the duchess has remained out of the public eye, but she will join her husband at the Tusk Conservation Awards dinner held by bosses at charity Tusk Trust.

A Kensington Palace spokesman confirmed that the Duchess would be attending the glittering gala, saying the date was a “long-standing engagement.”

The Prince, who is second in line to the throne, is a patron of the charity, which aims to protect wildlife across Africa, and has even lent his name to one of the awards – the Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa.

The awards ceremony will take place at the Draycott Hotel in London on September 12.

Pregnant British royal Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge has reportedly dropped a huge hint she is expecting a daughter.

The expectant Duchess appeared to suggest the sex of her unborn baby in an unguarded moment during her visit to Grimsby, England, on Tuesday.

As local Diana Burton handed her a teddy bear, the Duchess reportedly told her, “Thank you, I will take that for my d…” before stopping herself, prompting another well-wisher to ask her if she was about to say “daughter.”

The mother-to-be, who is five months pregnant, is said to have replied, “No, we don’t know! We’re not telling!”

The Duchess did disclose to the crowd that her baby has been kicking “very much.”

Award-winning British author Hilary Mantel has sparked outrage in the U.K. by labeling Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge a “plastic princess” and likening the royal to a “shop-window mannequin.”

During a lecture for the London Review of Books, the Booker Prize-winning novelist launched a scathing criticism of Prince William’s wife, branding her a “jointed doll on which certain rags are hung” with “no personality of her own” and insisting she appears to have been “designed by committee and built by craftsmen, with a perfect plastic smile.”

The comments hit headlines in the U.K. on Tuesday and prompted a furious response from British Prime Minister David Cameron, who branded Mantel’s remarks “misguided.”

He says, “What I’ve seen of Princess Kate at public events, at the Olympics and elsewhere is this is someone who’s bright, who’s engaging, who’s a fantastic ambassador for Britain. We should be proud of that, rather than make these rather misguided remarks… (Mantel) writes great books… (but) what she’s said… is completely misguided.”

A number of celebrities have also waded into the debate, with TV newsman Piers Morgan calling Mantel’s review of the Duchess “painfully vile” in a post on Twitter, while Duran Duran star Simon Le Bon urges fans to read a transcript of the entire lecture, writing, “Hilary Mantel’s Royal Bodies lecture… It’s no assassination of Kate; rather a cold look at our attitude to Royalty.”

The lecture notes were released on the day of the pregnant royal’s first official public engagement of 2013, visiting a rehab center in London.

Editors of the website praise the couple’s “solid relationship, flourishing careers, and fantastic family life” for landing them the number one spot every year since 2011, writing, “There hasn’t been another couple who’s been able to dethrone these two. Just when Jay and Bey looked like they were at the tip-top of their game, they went and had a baby. And recorded new albums. And continued to be the highest-paid couple in showbiz. They make it look easy.”

British super-couple Victoria and David Beckham came in at three, ahead of model Gisele Bundchen and sports star Tom Brady in fourth place.
